How Algeco Cut Portable Site Accommodation Energy Use by 30% with Atamate

Discover how Atamate helped Algeco reduce energy consumption by 30% across a 48-bay portable accommodation complex, saving 59,879 kWh and £16,766 in just 10 months. Using smart, occupancy-based heating controls and wireless technology, atBOS reduced energy waste without replacing existing equipment.

19 non-negotiables for commercial heat pump success

Poor planning is where most commercial heat pump projects go wrong. Here are the 19 things you need to get right, from load calculations and zoning to controls, commissioning and real-world SCOP.

Energy and Carbon regulations

UK building regulations shouldn't just be viewed as compliance headaches. By leveraging granular energy data and understanding building physics, owners can transform mandatory reporting into actionable insights that unlock superior energy efficiency and lower bills.

The building industry has it backwards

Traditional building management systems lock valuable energy data on-site due to security concerns, making remote optimisation impossible. Adopting secure remote access enables experts to analyze performance and improve efficiency, helping buildings hit their energy targets.

9 Options for electrical heating

The post discusses decarbonising buildings by replacing gas and oil boilers with electrical heating and emphasizes that to choose the right system, you need to understand how the building is used and its thermal performance rather than relying solely on traditional, flawed modelling. Additionally, your post on the "Performance Gap" covers related themes regarding operational performance and the transition to electric heating.

Most ESG reports are educated guesses. Here’s what that’s costing you

UK and EU building owners now have to report energy use by law, but most rely on design estimates that can be off by up to 70%. Here’s how that gap drives wasted energy and costly peak bill spikes, and how atBOS uses live room-by-room data to fix both.

4 things standing in the way of decarbonising commercial buildings

Buildings produce 30-40% of global carbon emissions, yet most generate almost no usable data. After 15 years working on the problem, here are the four things I’ve seen holding back commercial building decarbonisation, from lost plant room data to badly sized heat pumps.v

3 reasons commercial buildings underperform (and how to fix them)

After 30 years developing low-energy buildings, I’ve seen the same problems on every site. Here are the 3 reasons most commercial buildings underperform, and how wireless, room-level controls are delivering 30% energy savings by fixing the basics.

My flats beat Passivhaus and still only scraped an EPC C

I built a block of 6 flats in Cardiff that beat Passivhaus standards, yet it could only just scrape an EPC C. Here’s why SAP ignores controls and real performance, and what that means for builders, social housing providers and the residents paying the bills.

What I learned pitching Atamate to AstraZeneca

I pitched Atamate to AstraZeneca at an Innovate UK Meet the Buyer event. Here’s why their estate is exactly the challenge atBOS was built for, and why the conversations with other founders afterwards turned out to be a highlight.

Thousands of UK student buildings waste millions on energy with inadequate control systems

For colleges looking to reduce energy costs, the biggest challenge is often surprisingly simple: You can’t reduce what you can’t see. At Wolfson College, Cambridge, hundreds of individual occupants have very different energy habits.

Your building has controls. But is it actually controlled?

Having building controls doesn't mean your building is truly controlled. Discover where your building sits on the four-level Building Control Sophistication Index and how smarter, real-time HVAC control can reduce energy costs, cut carbon emissions, simplify maintenance and improve indoor environments.
